Q2 2018 Advocacy Update

In the first quarter of 2018, we continued using shareholder advocacy for positive impact and long-term risk management. We won a landmark majority vote on climate risk management at Kinder Morgan; we joined with fellow investors to call out companies enabling the Trump administration’s risky and inhumane immigrant detention policies; we moved Google’s parent company Alphabet, and other tech companies, closer to racial and gender inclusion; we challenged Verizon on privacy and net neutrality; and, we joined a global coalition of investors pushing for access to medicines in the global South countries that need them. Pat Miguel Tomaino has our quarterly advocacy update.
